Once again there was a great turnout for the annual Elaine McGlinchey Memorial Tractor and Lorry Run in Castlefin over the weekend.

Dozens of vehicles of all shapes and sizes took part in the event.

It was a fitting tribute once again to Elaine who sadly lost her brave battle with cancer a number of years back.

All monies raised from this year’s run went to Donaghmore National School.

Many fond memories of time spent with Elaine were retold for what was again a brilliant cause.

With thanks to Clive Wasson who was once again on hand to capture some lovely memories.
